“What are you gonna do?” I stared down at his lips. So juicy and kissable.

“You know how I do.”

I rolled off him and onto my back, spreading my legs for him. “Then do it.”

Jakari blew my back out once again, fucking me with his hand over my mouth so I wouldn’t get too loud in his auntie’s house. Somehow, that was even hotter. I came twice, then he came on my stomach.

After he cleaned me up, he got on his laptop. I got dressed, then sat beside him with my head on his shoulder.

“Okay, one last thing.”

He chuckled. “Why you tryna talk to me now? You just fucked all the good sense out my head.”

“We should invite your mother to the housewarming.”

He turned and leaned back so he could look at me. “Your good sense is gone, too, I see.”

“I’m serious.”

“And why would we do that? Why wouldyouwanna do that?”

“To clear the air. I’m in this family now. All the way. I just don’t want anybody to be uncomfortable.”

“You don’t have to do that, Malika. I’m serious.”

“I know. I want to.”

He shook his head. “Aight. If that’s what you really want, then okay.”

I smiled and put my head back on his shoulder. While he was working on his plans, I was working on mine.
